Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 141

The 3rd Prince’s mood was too serious to be dismissed as a joke.

A suggestion to become your own person.

It was a suggestion that the Crown Prince and Daria had also received, but the feelings of the 3rd Prince and them were different.

While the Crown Prince and Daria had strong political leanings, the Third Prince was different.

I felt like I really wanted to be my own person and not be political.

Friends or family.

The 3rd prince hoped and requested something like that from me.

‘What are you looking at that makes you say that to me?’

I was embarrassed that he would say that to me.

Why do you believe me and say such things?

No, why don’t you think before saying such things?

I couldn’t say that he and I had become friends yet.

It was bad if our relationship was bad, but we were just getting to know each other.

Now I’m thinking a little, ‘Oh, this guy is kind of pitiful’, but he’s suggesting that I become my own person.

You probably didn’t think I would accept that offer.

“Hmm….”

“….”

The 3rd prince looked at me intently.

He looked at me expectantly, waiting for my answer.

I had no intention of accepting it, but those eyes full of expectation were quite burdensome.

“May I ask what you were thinking when you said that?”

I want to know what the 3rd prince thinks.

Unless it was a carp, I wouldn’t have made such a suggestion because I knew that my relationship with him wasn’t good.

“it can not?”

The 3rd prince looked at me with pitiful eyes.

When he asked me how I couldn’t do it, I said it as if it was obvious.

“It’s not possible.”

“….”

He lowered his head at my firm answer.

The reaction was not as strong as I thought.

He nodded as if he had expected it and was just digging around in the dirt with his index finger.

“I knew. “Someone like me can’t even be a friend… Why am I like this…”

I touched my throbbing forehead as I saw him mumbling quietly.

Once I became negative, I found myself criticizing myself endlessly.

I wasn’t one to change my mind because of that, but even so, that sight felt so pitiful.

‘It’s going to spin, really.’

I wonder what good it is for the person who was spewing harsh words at me, so why should I worry about this?

‘If you want to be bad, you have to be bad for no reason. What should I do?’

Why aren’t there villains like that?

He is a poor person who looks like no trash on the outside, but when you look inside, you feel sympathy for him.

The 3rd prince was just that.

Because they grew up without receiving love, they are not good at expressing their emotions.

And they are very sensitive to issues related to ‘their people’.

To the 3rd prince, Daria was his person.

I don’t know what she did to him, but the thought was imprinted on him.

When he thought that I had taken away such a person, he got angry and attacked me.

But that doesn’t mean the mistake goes away.

“sorry. “I didn’t have any ideas…”

After learning about the 3rd prince’s true nature, he seemed more like an immature child than a bad person.

A childish person who doesn’t have a clear distinction between right and wrong and does whatever comes to mind.

It was only after I told the 3rd prince that his extreme actions were wrong.

I couldn’t leave it like that forever.

‘It could be a bit dangerous here in that state.’

At least in this forest, you had to have a positive mindset.

Negative thoughts and emotions provide great strength to a warlock.

These are people who cause trauma to their enemies and cause their minds to break down, so if they already have this kind of mindset, the situation they would be in when they meet a warlock was obvious without even looking at it.

“But I can be your friend.”

This was something similar to the Crown Prince and Daria.

Instead of becoming his person and getting married, I will become a friend who can help at any time.

They accepted the offer as it wasn’t a bad one and we have maintained a good relationship to this day.

There was nothing different about being the 3rd prince.

I don’t know if he’s a trash that can’t be rehabilitated, but I knew that wasn’t the case, but there’s nothing we can’t be friends with.

‘But it will cost a lot of money for friends.’

I had no intention of becoming a friend for free.

I invested in Daria and also received help from the crown prince.

Above all, they had a lot to rip off, not now but in the not-too-distant future.

“Really…?”

The dark complexion of the 3rd prince became noticeably brighter.

I wonder if he was that happy to be my friend. He came closer to me with sparkling eyes.

“Of course it won’t be for free.”

“…?”

“To be honest, the first impression between me and the prince is not good. “You know that, right?”

“Yes…”

His face, which had brightened, darkened again.

I could hear him mumbling, blaming his past actions.

I ignored it and continued speaking.

“There are conditions.”

“condition?”

“yes. “If you accept the conditions I propose, I will become your friend.”

“…What are those conditions?”

Unlike I thought he would accept right away, he was extremely cautious.

I think he thought I could put conditions on him that he couldn’t agree to.

It was the right choice.

If I had immediately shouted, ‘I’ll do anything for you!’, I would have been a little disappointed.

I didn’t know what conditions I might put on him, but he couldn’t even discern between the benefits and the wrongs, so it wasn’t worth it.

If you can’t even think about it that way, no matter how much help you give, you’ll soon reach your limits.

You may end up not even getting your money’s worth.

Although he had the status of a prince, we must consider that he was the third prince.

It is highly unlikely that he will beat the two people in front of him and become crown prince.

It might be better to invest in the current crown prince or second prince.

Nevertheless, if you want to invest in him, you need to know that he can at least think to some extent.

Only then will you be able to get your full price.

“The first is…”

The third prince’s eyes grew wider as he listened.

***

Once a month, the Count visits the Magic Tower to handle backlogged work.

He looks at the wizards’ current level, imparts necessary knowledge to them, inspects the magic circles and barriers installed in the magic tower, and shows his face to the apprentice wizards.

Apprentice wizards become happy and gain motivation for life just by seeing the face of the magic tower lord.

The magic tower lord was a living legend in the magic world.

He became an archmage at a young age and his fame for his active participation in war was still widespread.

Count Millennium was a role model for apprentice wizards and a god-like being.

“…!”

The only thing he was wary of was that he had no opponent unless he was a sword master or an archmage like him.

‘Dark magic?’

Warlocks.

Among magicians, they are called heretics and those who delve into unclean things.

The Count was wary of and rejected black magic itself, regardless of its level of power.

One of the reasons he placed a barrier around his territory was because of black magic.

“Lord Magic Tower? “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

The old wizard looked worriedly at the count who frowned.

He was having a meeting with the elders of the Magic Tower.

“no. “Let’s take a break for a moment.”

“All right.”

“I’ll bring some tea.”

The elders nodded at the count’s words and stood up and started moving.

‘Why do I feel dead mana? Has a warlock appeared?’

The Count’s face was serious.

In the forest used for hunting events near the territory, I felt things that I shouldn’t have felt.

Dead mana.

If an ordinary person accepted that mana, which was 90% made up of fraud, it had the property of causing them to die with great pain, as if they had drunk extremely poison.

However, if you accept a very small amount of dead mana, it gives you drug-like hallucinations and momentary pleasure.

Perhaps that’s why there were cases where drugs made by modifying dead mana were sold in secret places.

And at a very expensive price.

Dead mana is so difficult to obtain that purchasing a small amount requires enough money to run a small or medium-sized city for a year.

The problem is that not only ordinary people but even magicians consume it secretly.

The pleasure may be enjoyable at first, but the dead mana gradually encroaches on the wizard’s circle, eventually leading to death.

‘Almost all the warlocks would have died by then.’

Only warlocks can create dead mana, and almost all of those warlocks died in the war.

The count himself took the initiative and almost caused it to become extinct.

Therefore, the number of dead mana being released into the market has decreased.

There hasn’t been any trace of a warlock in the last 10 years.

You can’t believe you’re showing up now.

‘I guess I should step forward.’

You can ask Gerard or another wizard for a favor, but Gerard does not have good compatibility with warlocks.

Gerard is the strongest in one-on-one combat, but he has a hard time dealing with hundreds of undead.

You may kill all the warlocks, but you may miss a few undead and the nearby territory may suffer great damage.

However, it was not trustworthy to send another wizard.

Unless he was as strong as Count Skylar, he could have been defeated by them.

Because warlocks have greater mental attacks than physical attacks.

If they do something wrong, they could become a warlock.

So it’s best for him to step forward.

He is confident that he can wipe out any number of warlocks.

Unless you are an archmage like him, it is difficult to deal with him, and there are no archmages among warlocks.

Because the archmage who used black magic died due to Gerard and his joint attack.

‘hmm? Why is the hatchling….’

When he thought about going out, he felt the presence of a hatchling busily moving around.

As he walked around the forest, he seemed angry as if he felt the dead mana.

“If you think about it, the Silver Dragon really hated warlocks.”

Other wizards may be unreliable, but hatchlings are different.

No matter how much it is called a hatchling, it is still a dragon.

A hatchling is born with the mana of a 6th circle wizard, but recently the amount of mana has increased overwhelmingly.

Although it wasn’t enough to keep up with his, it was clear that it had a huge amount of mana.

In addition, I received instruction from him, even if it wasn’t for a long period of time.

It has enough power to deal with the warlocks in the forest over there.

‘If Raymond is with me…’

The Count, who had calculated what would happen, nodded with a satisfied face.

Those two are enough.

Moreover, judging by the hatchling’s reaction, he will somehow lead Raymond to the forest.

It may have been a long time ago, but if it were Raymond of today, he wouldn’t leave him alone even after seeing that warlock.

“Lord Magic Tower. “It’s time.”

“okay. “Let’s start the meeting again.”

The elders took their seats again and the Count began the meeting.

He no longer cared about the warlock.

I was confident that Hatchling and Raymond would be able to handle it.

Even if something went wrong, he had the power to solve it.

“Let’s end the meeting here. “When the vice-president returns, I will tell you the details of today’s meeting.”

“All right.”

After finishing the meeting, he came down from the magic tower.
